Product description
Rosenthal Studio-Linie Bisque Porcelain Vase Set, Design: Claus Schwanewilm
Large & Small Sculptural Vases · Matte White · Germany, 1985 & 1988
A restrained and architectural two-piece porcelain vase set designed by Claus Schwanewilm for Rosenthal Studio-Linie, executed in unglazed matte white bisque porcelain. Produced in 1985 and 1988, these vases exemplify Rosenthal’s late-20th-century commitment to sculptural clarity, surface restraint, and timeless modernist form.
Presented together, the two sizes form a calm and precise dialogue of proportion and volume, making the set particularly suitable for architectural interiors and curated collections of studio porcelain.
The Set
Large Vase
Model: 3576/18
Height: 17 cm
Width: 17 cm
Depth: 12 cm
Year: 1985
A balanced, sculptural form with softly articulated contours. The bisque surface absorbs light rather than reflecting it, allowing the volume and geometry to remain the primary visual focus.
Small Vase
Model: 3576/12
Height: 12 cm
Width: 11.5 cm
Depth: 9 cm
Year: 1988
A compact companion piece that echoes the proportions and formal language of the larger vase, creating a cohesive pairing. Equally effective as a standalone accent or as part of the duo.
Material & Finish
Material: Porcelain
Surface: Matte / bisque white
The unglazed bisque finish lends the vases an almost architectural presence, emphasizing form, silhouette, and proportion. This approach aligns closely with Rosenthal Studio-Linie’s late-modern philosophy of reducing decoration in favor of pure sculptural expression.
Condition
Both vases are in excellent vintage condition.
No chips, cracks, or repairs.
Only minimal signs of age consistent with careful handling and display.
About the Designer – Claus Schwanewilm
Claus Schwanewilm is a German designer whose professional biography is closely linked to modern interior design and high-end manufacturing, particularly through his long-standing association with Rosenthal Studio-Linie. He is listed in the Rosenthal Designer Encyclopedia, placing him among the designers who have shaped the company’s aesthetic language over decades.
Beyond porcelain, Schwanewilm is especially known for his work in glass design. His most notable contributions include the Rosenthal Glas-Studio candlesticks, often produced in collaboration with glass artist Mario Colelli. These objects were frequently issued in limited editions (sometimes as few as 200 pieces) and are today regarded by collectors as late-20th-century design classics.
His broader design practice is closely connected to interior architecture and spatial planning through the family-run firm Einrichtungen Schwanewilm GmbH in Haltern am See, Germany, which has specialized in modern interiors for private and commercial spaces for over 40 years. This background is reflected in his design language: disciplined, spatially aware, and focused on how objects inhabit and structure a room.
While less publicly known than some of Rosenthal’s celebrity collaborators, Schwanewilm occupies a respected position within the field of modern German design, particularly at the intersection of studio object, interior context, and luxury manufacture.
Why This Set Matters
This pairing offers:
* A coherent scale relationship between two sculptural forms
* A timeless matte white aesthetic suited to modernist and minimalist interiors
* A strong example of late Rosenthal Studio-Linie porcelain design
* A lesser-known but highly refined designer attribution, appealing to informed collectors
Ideal for collectors of German studio ceramics, lovers of bisque porcelain, and interiors that value quiet sculptural presence over overt decoration.
